Original:

Tomorrow I am going to go back home to celebrate my father’s birthday. Since I left my hometown for my college life, I have never come back home on the day when my father was born. I feel very sorry about that. So this year I would like to make a difference even though my parents told me not to go back if I was very busy. Compared to Shanghai my hometown is quite poor and far away, majority of people there are farmers including my parents. They start farming before sun rises and go back home after sun set. Whenever I complaint about how tired and bored I am my father will say: If you really don’t work anymore, you could come back home farming to get rid of your work you don’t like. But would you like to!
